Kim, I'm so thankful that it doesn't appear to be cancer. Scary though that a mass couldn't really be felt because of it being rubbery.

I made it through my first mammogram today. Wasn't really as bad as I'd been told. A little discomfort for a few seconds at a time but no pain. What a relief. I should have results in 2 weeks but this was basically so we'd have a baseline to go by.

Someone mentioned my energy. I don't really have much BUT it seems I do have more since I started exercising. Who'd have ever guessed that all these years they were right about that? I really have several days felt I could have walked another lap or two (Today was NOT one of those though. ;-) ) but my friends were worn out or we had time restraints. I told Gail that tomorrow I'd like to get started just a hair earlier and see how we can do. We're meeting at 8:15 and can walk until 9:30. Hope we can get in 5 or 6 laps. A lap is 1/2 mile. It really helps that it's climate controlled.

Also, a couple of prayer requests. One friend that walks with us some days had a horrible night Sunday. I don't know if any of you heard about it but her neighbor directly across the street had served her husband with a restraining order. He showed up Sunday night, kicked in the back door and chased her across the yard shooting with a sawed off shotgun. He missed once and then got her in the chest. She is in Atlanta Medical Center and lost one breast. The man shot himself and was dead when the cops arrived. She has a small son and a teen daughter who are staying with her sister right now.

Tonight I found out that my hair dresser didn't call me back on Monday night to make my appointment because her brother was in a serious accident and is also in Atlanta Medical Center. They had to replace part of his skull with a metal plate and are hoping he lives. That's all I really know about him. I don't even know his name but my hairdresser is Lisa Moore.

I'll send updates when I have them. Hope ya'll have a great evening/morning/day. Stay dry and warm!
